    Friday News You Can Use-Budget Archives

    It’s the last Friday of the month and I thought we’d do something different for News You Can Use by pulling out some articles from the Budget Smart Girl archives- It’s spring and time to think about gardening, how about dirt cheap gardening? How about a list of pantry stand bys? And who does love being pampered, and of course, it’s on a budget- I hope you found this helpful and that it’s a reminder that the archive has plenty of articles for you to go check out. Budget Smart Girl has been around since early 2005. Have a fun weekend and a money saving week.
